Quoted: Finland was founded when the original ole white king ignored his black general’s peaceful disposition and slaughtered the natives? Which his daughter atoned for by flooding her own kingdom? Dang I missed that history class View Quote No, I'm referring to the reindeer herders persecuted by the governments of countries they inhabit to take over their lands. Like building a dam to starve out a tribe of folks in an animated film. |

Anybody else expect Boba Fett to break out into song in the last few episodes of The Mandalorian? "Make way!! Make way!!"

My kid hasn't been into it for a while, but when she was watching the movie all the time, she would make me pop my pecs like Maui. She thought it was great that her dad could flex like a demigod.

My kids enjoy looking for the Easter eggs also...like when Maui turns himself in to Sven from Frozen and the picture of Marshmallow is the hut at the beginning. |
|
Quoted: Good movie, although it was kind of a dick move for Moana's "stone at the top of the mountain" to be a shell, so whoever is the leader after her will have to either move it or start a new pile of stones. I really enjoyed it, and my kids have watched it a million times. View Quote She did that because they left that island behind to become voyagers again. |

Disney brainwashing little girls into defying their fathers and running away from home . What’s not to like !?

When my daughter was between two and three it was on practically one a day every day five times a week.
I had sooo many dreams about this movie. |

One of my absolute favorite Disney movies. Not preachy. Funny. Good songs.

Quoted: Disney brainwashing little girls into defying their fathers and running away from home . What’s not to like !? View Quote Came to post this. Your parents are losers that don’t understand you. Just do what you “feel” is your destiny and don’t listen to your parents trying to protect you. Same message as The Little Mermaid. |

The story line is ironic, as it’s about a little girl that can save her village.
However, you’ll see she can’t do shit without a man doing everything for her. |
|
The part where The Rock snatches the stone from her and absolutely launches it into the sea cracks me up everytime. The face he makes and then the "Alright. I'm out"

Same message as The Little Mermaid. View Quote Huh I took it the complete opposite. Moana’s dad is a helicopter parent that shelters her from any danger or risk and prevents her from being independent. |

Quoted: How the hell have I not seen this until now!? Great flick! Great one liners. View Quote i specially like the rock when he sings true talent as actor and singer - the best, Oscar worthy - much like his performance in Baywatch |

one of my daughters favorites and one i don't get totally sick of watching for the 87 millionth time.

Quoted: Disney brainwashing little girls into defying their fathers and running away from home . What’s not to like !? View Quote Perhaps daddy shouldn't be an authoritarian prick and instead help guide his daughter in finding what works best for her rather than telling her "No" to following literally the main drive in her life? I have a 2yo girl. She loves Moana, has all the character's dolls/stuffed animals and sleeps with a Hei-Hei plush. Great movie with an overall excellent message for a young woman coming up in this world, which is a rare thing these days (especially from the Disney social programmers). |

One of my daughters favorites
The music is great, think it has some of the best songs of any Disney kids movie The island/ocean rendering is fantastic Moana is a strong female character without being grrl power. She reminds me of my daughter who is very headstrong and doesn't let anyone stand in her way.. Now if we can just get her to keep her room clean. |

Quoted: Moana is a favorite, we also like Brave, Wreck It Ralph, and Book of Life. View Quote I liked brave. But like the little mermaid, and others, the basic premise is, ignore your parent.(because dead parents is a constant Disney thing).They don’t really know what is best for you. Do what you want. It will all work out. Moana does that too. Buts it feel less in your face than brave and little mermaid. |

I have a 6yo daughter and 3yo son. Disney gets a lot of play in our house. Moana is one of our favorites, both kids love it.
